FAIRHAVEN — Detectives used a Taser to subdue a suspect while executing a search warrant that netted two arrests Monday.

The arrests came just after 7 a.m. when Fairhaven and Dartmouth police detectives working with the Bristol County Sheriff's Office were preparing to search a second-floor apartment at 30 Spring St. Detectives noticed someone enter the apartment and leave a short while later with another man. They approached the two and the suspects fled.

John Reynolds, 23, of 199 Main St., tried to escape on a bicycle but was quickly arrested. William Roldan, 46, of 30 Spring St., ran, but he was tackled and began to "actively resist officers," police said. He was arrested after being incapacitated by a Taser, they said.

Reynolds was charged with possession of a Class A controlled substance (heroin) and conspiracy to violate drug laws.

Roldan was charged with numerous drug-related offenses, including distribution of a Class A controlled substance, conspiracy to violate drug laws and possession of a stun gun.
